Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] |
Derivatives | Derivatives Commodity Derivatives The Company is exposed to commodity price risk, which impacts the predictability of its cash flows from the sale of oil, natural gas and NGL. On occasion, the Company has attempted to manage this risk on a portion of its forecasted oil, natural gas or NGL production sales through the use of commodity derivative contracts. There were no open commodity derivative contracts as of September 30, 2023. Historically, the Company has not designated any of its derivative contracts as hedges for accounting purposes. As applicable, if the Company has open derivative contracts, the Company has recorded such contracts at fair value with changes in derivative contract fair values recognized as a gain or loss on derivative contracts in the condensed consolidated income statements. Commodity derivative contracts were settled on a monthly basis, and the commodity derivative contract valuations were adjusted on a mark-to-market valuation basis quarterly. The following table summarizes derivative activity for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands):
| Three Months Ended September 30, |  | Nine Months Ended September 30,
| 2023 |  | 2022 |  | 2023 |  | 2022
Gain on derivative contracts | $ | — |  |  | $ | (4,258) |  |  | $ | (1,447) |  |  | $ | (3,194) |
Realized settlement gains (losses) on derivative contracts | $ | — |  |  | $ | 218 |  |  | $ | 5,876 |  |  | $ | (867) |
M aster Netting Agreements and the Right of Offset. As applicable, the Company historically has had master netting agreements with all of its commodity derivative counterparties and has presented its derivative assets and liabilities with the same counterparty on a net basis in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. As a result of the netting provisions, the Company's maximum amount of loss under commodity derivative transactions due to credit risk was limited to the net amounts due from its counterparties. There were no open commodity derivatives contracts as of September 30, 2023. As of December 31, 2022, the Company’s open commodity derivative contracts were held with one counterparty. There were no open derivative positions as of September 30, 2023. The following table summarizes (i) the Company's commodity derivative contracts on a gross basis, (ii) the effects of netting assets and liabilities for which the right of offset exists based on master netting arrangements and (iii) the Company’s net derivative asset position as of December 31, 2022 (in thousands):
|  | Gross Amounts |  | Gross Amounts Offset |  | Amounts Net of Offset |  | Financial Collateral |  | Net Amount
Assets |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Derivative contracts - current |  | $ | 4,429 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 4,429 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 4,429 |
Total |  | $ | 4,429 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 4,429 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 4,429 |
Because we did not designate any of our derivative contracts as hedges for accounting purposes, changes in the fair value of our derivative contracts were recognized as gains and losses in the earnings of the relevant period. As a result, and as applicable, our current period earnings could have been significantly affected by changes in the fair value of our commodity derivative contracts. Changes in fair value were principally measured based on a comparison of future prices to the contract price at the end of the period. Fair Value of Derivatives The following table presents the fair value of the Company’s derivative contracts on a net basis with the same counterparty (in thousands):
Type of Contract |  | Balance Sheet Classification |  | December 31, 2022 |  |
Natural Gas |  | Current assets - Derivative Contracts |  | $ | 4,429 |  |  |
Total net derivative contracts |  | $ | 4,429 |  |  |
See Note 2 for additional discussion of the fair value measurement of the Company’s derivative contracts.
